CATHERINE (from Canada) MADE MY CHICKEN POT PIE VARIATION

“Thank you for your wonderful cooking videos!! Any chance you are considering releasing a new cookbook?  I really hope so!! There is nothing like a great cookbook to page through with a cup of tea ? I made a variation of your chicken pot pie last night for dinner and absolutely love your pastry recipe! I didn’t have chicken, so I substituted a 418g can of Salmon, and instead of carrots I added one leek (wish I had had fresh dill).
I put the pastry on the bottom, added the filling and topped the pie with potatoes (plain) that I mashed with some ground pepper and cooked for 40 mins at 400 degrees.  I covered the mashed potato (left the crust exposed) with a piece of foil I folded into a round shape for a portion of the cooking time than removed it.  Got the idea from your suggestion for protecting the pie crust in your pumpkin pie video.  In the last 5 minutes, I topped the potato crumble with a mixture that had a drop of olive oil, 2 tbsp of panko bread crumbs and 1/4-1/3 of a cup of grated parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. It was delicious, your chicken pot pie sauce and pastry recipes are fantastic!!  And so versatile!!
My family can’t wait for me to make your chicken pot pie.   I plan to make it soon.  While we were eating, we came up with another variation of your pot pie dish.  When we have left overs from our next turkey dinner I will make your chicken pot pie sauce, (substitute the turkey for the chicken) put your pastry at the bottom and top the pie with the left over stuffing.
I made your Lemon Brownies on Easter weekend and they were delicious.  My daughter is a lemon lover, and this is a wonderful new dessert for our family to have.  Thank you!!  Next recipe – I plan to make your cabbage rolls.  I have two heads of cabbage in the fridge ready to be used.  I have never made cabbage rolls before, but after watching your video, I am no longer intimidated. Love your clear, easy to follow instructions. Fantastic recipes! ~ Catherine, Toronto, On.”

It is always delicious and keeps well for several days in a plastic bag on my counter. Wonderful texture and flavour. I turn on my oven light a little ahead of time and let it rise for 35 minutes in there. Then pull it out and heat the oven.

“My 9 year old great niece, Olivia, made this delicious Braided Cinnamon Bread using your recipe, Jenny. Unfortunately, we didn’t capture a picture of the baked bread; it was devoured soon after being removed from the oven. Everyone loved it, isn’t she amazing!

JODY (from Washington) MADE MY EASY GRANOLA

“The first time I made this granola, I was definitely a little gun-shy, or I should say oven-shy. I thought it was really good and so did my grandkids, and we finished it all up. When I looked up the recipe to make a second batch and saw the photo of Jenny’s, I realized how ANEMIC (not toasted enough) my first batch was. Even though it was good, you are right Jenny; the extra toasting in the oven really makes it so much better. I feel Vindicated! Here’s my afternoon delight– blueberry and banana yogurt parfait with the best granola in the world! ❤️”

~That’s a lot of brownies for one sitting!! ? I’m glad everything turned out and thank you.  – jennyEasy Healthy Brownies“Thinking that my oven is still hot as I just finished baking the dark chocolate fudge brownies, so i thought of making these crusty rolls.  You were right Jenny, not only they were crusty when they came out of the oven, but even the next day , they were even crustier after we toasted them.  We all finished them .  Thanks again for the crusty recipe. ~ Angie.”Easy Crusty Rolls

CHAS MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT NO KNEAD BREAD

“This is a pic of your No-Knead bread recipe made with 2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. I increased the yeast to a teaspoon. It’s excellent but the regular all white flour version is out of this world.  I do use a bit more salt (1.5teaspoons) and a whole teaspoon of yeast and I add maybe a tablespoon of olive oil to the dough initially. My mom, my sister, and her kids all make this bread now. Thanks so much for making your video, we’re all a bit fatter but we love it.

I shared your video on Facebook and several friends make it now too. My sister added sesame seeds after resting the dough ( she spritzed it first with water) and says that works great. I may try that next time. I have made it in a cast-iron Dutch oven which come out great, a heavy pot with glass lid, an enamel 4.5 Qt pot,  and I can tell you that the 1.5 Qt enamel pan I tried is just TOO SMALL. It came out looking like a cake, but still tastes good.  Thanks again! Your bread is awesome!”

DONNA MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny! I’ve been making sourdough bread for about 10 years but I love your no knead bread, so I decided to see if I could blend them somehow.  I made your recipe but I used 3/4 cup ripe sourdough starter instead of yeast, and only used 1.25 cups of cool water.  I let it sit for 12 hours because sourdough gets more tang the longer it sits.  It rose great, I baked in my ceramic baker, and it turned out beautifully, and the taste is awesome! Thanks for your great recipe!  I will still use the original, but it’s always fun to experiment! ~ Donna Czech.”

VICKI (from California) MADE MY EASTER BUNNY BUNS & NO KNEAD BREAD

“I found your site while looking for a 1 layer yellow cake recipe. That led to your Easter bunny breads for my granddaughter’s Easter ‘basket’ (actually they were bags) since we are sheltering in place and couldn’t got out and buy baskets or treat.   Your fast no knead bread was next. The breads have been fun and easy; I have my second loaf in the oven now. I used a razor blade to cut a simple design on the top. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Our challenge here in CA is finding yeast and flour. Who knew those would be hot commodities during quarantine time. Glad I found you! Will be moving on to entrees next week as we are getting tired of my usual repertoire. ~ Vicki Rasmussen, San Jose, CA – Coordinator, Flowers of Comfort.”

TINA (from Texas) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hello Jenny! My husband and I are both physicians.  He is on the front lines daily in the hospital while I’m seeing my patients via telemedicine. The one main lesson that this COVID19 crisis has taught me is that teachers are WAY underpaid! They all should be paid at least 10 times more for tolerating…I mean teaching our kids.  I’ve been trying to juggle seeing my patients, oversee distance learning for my kids, and manage my household chores – my escape has been trying your recipes in my kitchen (which is my happy place).  I have made so many and they all turn out so well!  I’m baking my way through this darn pandemic!

Anyhow, I decided to surprise my newly pregnant baby sister and her husband on her 33rd birthday with a “fancy” decorated version of your chocolate cake with your 2 minute frosting.This made her so happy on her birthday!!!  I just topped the cake with a few homemade chocolate covered strawberries and drizzled dark and white chocolate sculptures (I’m not sure what to call them).  Look how beautiful it came out!  I just love you and your recipes!!!  Thank you for being you and for sharing your love of healthier cooking with us! Hugs from Texas, – Tina Dieber.”

~ Well that’s the best my cake has ever looked! Thank you for these lovely photos, my best birthday wishes to your sister, and most importantly, my admiration to you both for doing good in the world. ❤️ – jenny Jenny Can Cook Chocolate CakeEasiest Chocolate Cake Ever

DAVID (from Canada) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny. Made your quick no- knead bread & it turned out great. The only thing was the bottom crust was a little hard to slice through. Maybe when I remove the lid to brown the top i should reduce temp a little. Thanks, David D ~ from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.”

~ Reducing the temperature  when the lid comes off is a good idea or you could also try removing the loaf from the pan after 30 minutes and placing it directly on the oven rack but put the parchment paper,  folded over for more thickness, under it. Good luck! – jenny (also from Ontario, Canada ??)Easy Dutch Oven Bread

BARB (from Canada) MADE MY SIMPLE WHITE BREAD

“Jenny, I couldn’t be more pleased with how this bread turned out.  Just look at that beautiful loaf!

SHERRY (from New York) MADE MY POLISH PACZKI

“Hi Jenny, first time making donuts, made the pot roast as well tonight.

Can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Have relied on your low fat chocolate cupcake recipe for many baking events at work, they are always a big hit! ~ Sherry Hmiel, Liverpool, New York.”
